Day 2

6

Today we learned about the coral, fish, crustaceans, and other invertebrates that live in and around the reefs. Before lunch, we snorkeled in savannah bay, and I saw a stingray, and many sea eggs (spiny white things that look like urchins). After lunch,we dove in the area known as the chimney, where we swam through an underwater cavern with eels and lobsters hiding beneath the coral and the rocks. Unfortunately for me, my leg brushed up against a fire worm, a 5 inch red worm with poison spines, which caused unpleasant sensations on my calf for a while. This was the best dive so far, which lasted nearly an hour as we practiced fish identification.
